Lameness Intermittent

A movement disorder in which patients can walk with a limp on both legs (one leg alternately) or stand on one leg (on the affected leg or alternately). It is more often observed in men aged 40-60 years. It is based on damage to the anterior parts of the spinal cord.

It develops gradually, sometimes occurring after an acute respiratory infection. Sometimes it is combined with atrophy of the muscles of the lower extremities and sensitivity disorders in the feet. As movement disorders develop, the syndrome usually goes away gradually. But neurological disorders in the form of unilateral ataxia and pathological foot signs persist for a long time.



Lameness, intermittent (lat. claudicatio - lame, incomplete shuffling). A feeling of numbness in the lower leg during movement, a sensation of “intermittent shuffling” in the limb and a forced stop of walking, more often manifested in cold and damp weather. Occurs with arterial hypertension and atherosclerosis of the lower extremities. Symptoms are caused by cerebrovascular accidents



Intermittent claudication is a condition characterized by poor circulation in the legs due to periodic loss of blood flow in the main arteries supplying the muscles. This disease causes pain in the muscles and legs, which usually disappears after a few minutes of rest. There are several types of intermittent claudication, each of which requires specific treatment
